Hypo: $10M if you score 86 or less on 18 holes, 365 days in a row
Poast new message in this thread
Date: March 5th, 2026 12:16 PM Author: Vengeful fighting double fault really tough guy If you complete 18 holes of golf scoring 86 or less 365 days in a row, you will receive $10M tax free.
You must tee off from the men's tees.
You must play at least 20 different courses as part of the challenge during the 365 day period for it to count.
Only courses of average or above quality, length, and difficulty count.
A rules official will follow you to make decisions and assess penalty strokes as appropriate.
You can restart the hypo as many times as you like. The offer is open for life. But, you still need 365 consecutive days.
You can restart each day's round as often as you like.
Are you in? Do you quit work and start golfing full time now? |

The only things provided to you by the hypo are the rules official and the $10M if you complete the hypo.
Are you in? |

Date: March 5th, 2026 12:39 PM Author: Dun Vigorous Church Building You would have to be a ~scratch golfer to card 365 straight rounds at 86 or better, even playing the whites at an average 68-69 course rating / 125 slope rating sort of course. The ability to end and re-start rounds is good in theory, but is subject to tee time availability. Even if we assume you have 2 rounds booked every day, probably need to be 3ish handicap to have a shot at 365 straight days of 1 round of 86 or better.

Let's assume you can grease the wheels and asses of the course people to let you restart without worrying about tee times. If it was ur full time job, and you have a "home course" that you'll play on 345 of the days, you don't think you could do that with just being good, not great? Is golf so faggot that a, say, 7 handicap couldn't get a round a day under 86 on a course you play constantly? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5841866&forum_id=2),#49717755) |

Date: March 5th, 2026 1:47 PM Author: Razzle-dazzle Flesh Private Investor you'd have to be a ~3 hdcp or lower to have a chance. at that level you're scoring 86 or less in 90-95% of your rounds. and even then you'd have to do it on 365 consecutive days, which means one unexpected bad weather day or windy day and you're in trouble. even in california or arizona.
and golf as you know is a mental game, you could have a shitty fever or you got in a blowup fight with your wife the day before and you're in danger.
again--no one here can do this. |

Even if they shoot under 87 from the regular men's tees 99.9% of the time--and 99.99% of days when given multiple bites at the apple--the odds of something with 99.99% probability happening 365 times in a row are "only" 96.4%. |
